Honors Program

The Anthropology Honors Program permits students of demonstrated ability in
class work to pursue an independent study and research project of high
excellence and receive recognition for this accomplishment.

The Houston Award

The James Houston Award in Anthropology is an annual award, established and
presented for the first time in May 1979. It is made possible by contributions
from the faculty in Anthropology/ Geography and by a generous gift from Alice
and James Houston whose interest in researching, recording, and teaching about
the cultures and habitats of Native America has been a constant inspiration.
